Baseball is dead or dying. That’s been the refrain from people not paying attention for the last couple (dozen) years. Baseball might not be the top sport in the United States anymore, but it’s far from dead. And if payrolls are any indication, the sport is healthier than it’s ever been. We’re going to take a […]

MLB preseason predictions are fun but ultimately, completely meaningless. No one is going to remember (or care) if you picked the Astros to win the AL West, or if you have the Nationals winning the World Series. As I pointed out back in October, our staff’s predictions for the 2015 season were generally awful. Our […]

It’s becoming a tradition for me – downloading the updated version of Topps Bunt for the upcoming MLB season. Bunt is generally the same this season as in prior years with two major additions – the card exchange, and experience points. Experience points are a great addition to the app – you get them for pretty […]

There’s only one way to go from the top, but the Royals will be trying to maintain their success in 2016 rather than falling back after achieving the ultimate victory in 2015. While there have been a few changes to the roster, Kansas City will be bringing back almost their entire roster of slap hitting, […]

No one expected anything from the Twins last year, but the scrappy bunch of rookies and a couple underrated veterans (Trevor Plouffe and Brian Dozier in particular) put together a late run at the Wild Card in 2015. The question now is whether they will continue to progress or will their largely inexperienced roster find […]

The Chicago White Sox were set to head into 2016 with renewed expectations, at least to an extent. While they seemed to ignore several prominent free agent, or trade, options that could have improved their ballclub, they did make several additions to a lineup that now looks completely overhauled from last year. These moves, of […]

The Indians were extremely disappointed by their finish last year, just one game above .500 and their second straight without a playoff appearance. With three of the best starting pitchers in baseball now established at the top of the Indians rotation, they look to make a deep run into the Postseason this year for the […]

When Drew Barrymore’s character ran onto the field in Fever Pitch, she did so as a protest to stop Jimmy Fallon’s from selling his Red Sox season tickets. When a baseball fan ran onto Bradenton’s McKechnie Field during a Tampa Bay Rays versus Pittsburgh Pirates Spring Training game on Saturday, his protest wasn’t over a […]

Kris Bryant of the Chicago Cubs and Carlos Correa of the Houston Astros were both integral parts of their respective clubs in 2015 – and their undeniable impact earned both Rookie of the Year nods. Looking ahead to 2016, which young players are poised to separate from the pack and take home their own ROY honors once […]

As the new season approaches, there aren’t many high-profile players heading into their ‘farewell’ seasons. David Ortiz is an exception, and will be stepping away from the game after 2016 as a crucial part of Boston Red Sox lore. Still, there are at least a handful of players that could very well be lacing up their cleats […]

The Marlins hold an interesting combination of some of the best players in all of baseball (Stanton, Fernandez and Gordon) and some of the worst. This turned into 71 wins in 2015 and a third place finish, well ahead of the Braves and well behind the Nationals. Because of the stars, this version of the […]
